Much has been remarked on the educa-
tionsl facilities of Kansas and especially Of
Wichita, but little or none has been pro-
phesied of those institutions in the years
to come, when the ever ceaseless influx of
this section is now witnessing, fills up this
vast territory surrounding Kansas and has
placed the state of Kansas among the frs,
states Of the union and comparatively ad-
vanced of the surrounding country. Then In
this state, owing to It's central location and
its surprising facilities in educational in
stituuons some city will become the Oxford
of these United States, the Edinburgh of
America. Wichita is that city; the reason
OF this dicision is oboious to all. The
commercial city of any country will be the
educational, as it Is the manufacturing CEN
ter. This city even now has nine colleges
aud academies, over and above the best
public schools In the state, and yet the
Princess is only in the dawn of her prosper
ity. Neither do we look too far ahead fol
the securing of an enviable name In thi.
line. 1t has been correctly supposed tina,

superior educational institution, but 8

THE VOLUNTEERS

1t is now nearly thirty five years since
the yacht America captured from Grea,
Britain the famous cup which the Scotch
Thistle is crossing the ocean to recap
ture. During that time British ship
builders and sportsmen have made many
efforts to win back the prize, but so far
without success. The speed developed by
the Thistle In British waters. however,
alarmed our yachtmen, and it was gener-
ally conceded that she would be able to
easily outsail the Genesta and Galatea, to
this time the fastest of our yachts, and
have the proud distinction of carrying back
with her the prize cup. In this crisis the
feats of the new American yacht Volun-
teer, in the trials so far made, come as a
positive relief, and encourage the belief
that the cup will still remain on this side
of the water. She has shown wonderful
speed In all sorts of weather, and is plainly
the superior as ssiler of any vessel in her
class that has yet been tried In American
waters. The fact that she is the equal, if
not the superior, of the Thistle, will add
interest to the coming contest. If the
Volunteer can hold the cup away from the
Scotchman, who Is now some where In mid
ocean, all unconscious Of the metal of the
new champion of American distinction,
national pride on this side of the water will
build him monument higher than that
which honors the memory of the Father of
Our Country

That is merely matter of opinion. The
individuality impressed upon a newspaper
by its editor and proprietor becomes 80
fixed, and essential If you please, In the
popular estimation that the paper Is known
by its editor whether his name Is part of
its name or not. The Knoxville Wing, for
instance, has never been so influential since
1t ceased to be "Brownlow's Knoxville
Whig," after the death of the editorial war
horse. 1t may seem bit egotistical to the
over modest critic for newspaper to par
take of its owners or editors name In its
caption, but disassociate his name and re.
move his connection with 1t, and if he
amounts to anything the effect would
be felt in the counting room In 8 very

A LOGICAL SEQUENCE.

The failure of John Swinton to maintain
his newspaper upon the popular supper
accorded it is not matter of surprise t.
thinking, rejecting men. Not that tn
paper lacked merit, for of its class 1t wa!
perhaps the ablest of any in the country
1t was q clear, forcible exponent of The
convictions of its editor upon the greai
labor problem: and however erroneous hi
conclusions on many points he was never
theless candid in their expression. But,
all men have their weakness, and Mr..
Swinton's, In this connection, was that he
did not discern at the outset of the curren!
labor movement as an organized effort tina.
it would go as it has gone.
The labor element of the country con-
stitutes, as to numbers and physical force,
the most potent influence by large odds,
and If concentrated and welded as unit
would be capable of accomplishing
any undertaking within the
range of human possibilities.
But there is where Mr.. Swinton and many
other original leaders miscalculated. At
first and for good while the movement
bid fair to assume commanding position
in the affairs of the state and nation, and
could Its organization have been kept intact
and discipline enforced 1t might, aye
would, have been able to control the policy
of the government. But its marvellous
growth and temporary successes in local
issues naturally begot feeling of overcon-
fidence. Then individual and local inter
ests began to come in conflict as they were
pressed forward for precedence. This
diversity of interests thus developed could
have but one sequel, Its division, separate
organizations And now instead of one
concentrated, powerful organization we
have as many as there are trades in The
country. each with Its own laws, plans and
purposes to control it without reference to
q common interest or the accomplishment
of common end.
These diverse organizations, animated by
local or selfish interests, caused the individ-
ual members to lose sight of the original
impelling motive, and with that went the
moral and substantial support which in the
beginning of the organized labor move
ment encouraged Mr.. Swinton and his like
to espouse the cause and embark in an en-
terprise that then promised big reward, but
which have proven delusive and disap'
pointing. 1t is not our purpose to discuss
the labor question per Sc, but to simply
call the attention of those who hoped for
and expected much from movement that
should straighten many crooked paths and
make innumerable rough places smooth to
the divine axiom. A house divided against
itself cannot stand" and to the coincident
fact that the collapse usually brushes the
victims of misplaced confidence, as in John
Swinton's case.
